I wasn't crying because I wrecked a race car.. I think I was crying because, for a moment, I felt like I'd damaged 7 years of fighting to get here.. I made a mistake in the first few laps, and unfortunately in racing sometimes one mistake is enough to cost you your entire night! This time, it did.. I own that. But what people don't necessarily see when they look at this car is everything that's happened while we've been building it.. Seven years. Three house moves. Becoming a mum. Having a stroke. Rehabilitation. Learning to trust my body again. Building the confidence to climb back into a race car. And somewhere amongst all of that… we kept building this thing! So yeah, seeing it in the fence hurt.. Not because it's just a race car Because to me, it represents years of work, sacrifice, memories, setbacks and a version of myself that refused to give up. I'll learn from the mistake. We'll fix her. And I'll get back behind the wheel again, because one bad lap doesn't erase the 7 years it took to get here 🤍🏁 #modifiedsedans #dirttrackracing #speedway #sentittofar #mybad
